The finishes. Silk, as the name suggests, is a high sheen finish and will often show up imperfections. Matt will cover everything flat as the name suggests. Either can be used in my opinion as a professional painter and decorator. I've just finished a house with silk walls and matt ceilings, and have often done matt walls and silk ceilings. If you're a beginning painter, I would advise using silk, as it's either to put on smoother with thick coats. If you're a beginner and using matt, use vinyl matt, not trade.
